Listening to the Indigo album a few times, I think this song is outstanding. It's well-crafted, from the start to the end. The magical guitar/whistle riff creates a unique sonic atmosphere with it's lively rhythms, joyful melody, and the intriguing harmony, which underlies it all. The eight bar chord progression consists of 4 bars C major, 2 bars F maj7, 2 bars Ab maj7#5 (C/Ab, if we treat it as a slash chord). After we were introduced to the theme, Chris comes in, draws inspiration from the beat, blends beautifully into it with his lush vocals. And a fascinating song was born. I've must have listened to it a hundred times!

Exactly, He’s always talking about sex.
But everytime I sing about sex and body parts, I get no likes and dislikes in my music. I guess it’s just the voice 🤷🏽♂️
